When you go to print the max resolution for most output will be 300 dpi. If a shot is going to web then resolution only needs to be about 100dpi. CRT monitors have a resolution of 72 and lcd is 96 so anything above that is lost and just makes for a large file. I've scanned 4 x 6 photos @ 400% 300dpi and got awesome 11 x 14 prints from my color lab. I also do prepress work and have printed same as cmyk with great results.
